This will be Belgium’s second-ever Euro finals after making their debut at Euro 2017.
The Red Flames certainly caught the attention last time out, beating heavily-fancied Norway.
Having been knocked out of World Cup contention by Switzerland in 2019, Belgium got their revenge this time out, finishing ahead of the Swiss in their qualifying group.

Who is Belgium’s head coach at Euro 2022?
Ives Serneels has been at the helm of Belgium’s women’s team for over a decade now, guiding the Red Flames to their first major international tournament in 2017. Serneels was a successful player himself earlier in his career, winning the Belgian league in 1997 by starring as a defensive midfielder for Lierse. He favours a flexible 4-4-2 system that can easily become a 4-3-3 when the situation demands it.
Who is Belgium’s captain at Euro 2022?
Striker Tessa Wullaert skippers her country and became Belgium’s all-time leading goalscorer in 2016. Wullaert has starred for some of the biggest club sides in Europe, including Manchester City and Wolfsburg, before returning to Anderlecht in 2020. She has over a century of caps to her name.
Who are Belgium’s star players to watch out for at Euro 2022?
Belgium boast the qualifying stage’s top scorer: Tine De Caigny struck 12 times to fire her country to the top of their group. She is very much the focal point of the Red Flames’ attack, but this is far from a one-woman team. Lyon’s Janice Cayman is a masterful creator as well as goalscorer in her own right, and the most-capped player in Belgium’s history. In contrast to the experienced Cayman is 21-year-old Amber Tysiak, an athletic defender who is always looking to get forward in attack.
